PERTH, Australia (AP) - Malaysia's prime minister said Thursday the search for the missing jetliner will not stop until answers are found, as his Australian counterpart Tony Abbott called it "the most difficult in human history."

Prime Minister Najib Razak met with Abbott at the Australian base near Perth that is serving as the hub for the multinational effort and was briefed by Angus Houston, the head of a joint agency coordinating the search in the southern Indian Ocean.

No trace of the Boeing 777 has been found nearly a month after it vanished in the early hours of March 8 on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.

"It is a very difficult search. The most difficult in human history, but as far as Australia is concerned, we are throwing everything we have at it," Abbott told reporters.
